What did Atenas de Córdoba announce?
Atenas de Córdoba transferred Tiago Tomatis and Ramiro Ledesma to San Isidro, completing two of the three reinforcements announced for the Argentine League 2026/27. The move was confirmed on July 5, 2026 and is already listed in the official roster of the Red Hawks.
How was the new squad structured?
San Isidro unveiled a core of 12 players. At point guard will be Nahuel Buchaillot, Maximiliano Lizarraga and newcomer Tomás Botta (from Salta Basket). The shooting guards are Jerónimo Suñé and Tiago Tomatis, while Luciano Ortíz and Ramiro Ledesma will fill the small‑forward/power‑forward spots. In the low post, Simón Chémez, Manuel Lambrisca and American Christopher Hooper complete the interior options. Head coach Sebastián Porta, assisted by Julián Badosa, leads the project.
What do the departures mean for the team?
The club lost four key players: Marcos Saglietti, Lautaro Mare, Julián Eydallín and Jeremías Diotto. All were starters last season, when San Isidro returned to the league spotlight. Their exits leave gaps in perimeter defense and forward rotation, explaining the need for the two Atenas imports.
What is expected from Atenas' reinforcements?
Tomatis, 24, averaged 12.5 points and 3.2 rebounds in the 2025/26 season with Atenas, known for his mid‑range shooting (38 % FG). Ledesma, 26, posted 10.8 points and 5.1 rebounds, with 2.1 blocks per game, and is praised for his paint presence. Both will join a squad aiming to stay among the top spots and fight for a playoff berth.
What’s next for San Isidro?
The team begins preseason on July 15, training at the San Isidro facility and playing friendlies against LNB clubs. Porta has hinted that more signings could arrive before the official debut on October 2, depending on market activity and tactical needs. Meanwhile, the Red Hawks are already visualizing a pick‑and‑roll heavy offense and a 2‑3 zone defense, where the new Atenas forwards will play a vital role.
